Application sources provide the information to build a catalog of the permissions and accounts within your organization. These data sources are configured with one or more collectors to gather the information from that source.
OpenText Identity Governance enables you to create application sources in the following ways:
Using the application definition templates provided with OpenText Identity Governance
Application definition source templates enable you to create an application that can collect permissions from other eligible applications as well as collect accounts and permissions from a variety of application sources.

IMPORTANT:To import data sources, you must first export the data source from the current version of OpenText Identity Governance. Data source files exported from earlier versions of OpenText Identity Governance do not import correctly to the current version. Hence, the data source must be recreated in the current version of OpenText Identity Governance.
